Abstract: Today, the manner in which we communicate has greatly advanced. The technology is not just about machines, but people with technology together. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is unavoidable in the Internet of things. However, at the same time, there are more attacks against the M2M system. Therefore, a reliable and secure authentication mechanism is required. Blockchain technology is decentralized and highly secure while being tamper-proof. This protects M2M service providers by eliminating the single point of failures. This paper proposes a blockchain-based authentication scheme that uses a practical Byzantine fault tolerance (pBFT) consensus mechanism for M2M security in cyber physical systems. …By implementing a blockchain to an M2M system, it provides an ID for devices on the blockchain. Simulation results have shown that the data on the chain cannot be altered. A pBFT consensus algorithm also ensures that the blockchain network is able to come to a consensus with faults. Show more

Abstract: Mass of an object is an important characteristic for quality assessment. However, in some cases, it is hard to measure the mass of objects with instruments directly. In this paper, we proposed a novel method based on Fuzzy c-means (FCM) to measure the mass of an object by analyzing the deformation degree in a grid pattern. In the spatial field, thin plate spline (TPS) algorithm was adopted to calculate the minimum deformation bending energy in order to give a quantitative analysis of the weight; In frequency domain, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm was used to calculate the spectrum within …a deformation frequency area before and after the change of grids, from which the relationship between weight and spectrum was investigated using FCM algorithm. Two different equations evaluated by the above two methods were proposed in order to calculate the mass of an object. Both of them showed a high level of explanatory power of R2 (R2 = 0.9833 and R2 = 0.9698, respectively). The equations were then used to determine the estimated mass. Estimated and measured values were plotted against each other. A high correlation (R2 = 0.9833 and R2 = 0.9698, respectively) was found between actual and calculated mass. Finally, Bland-Altman plot was introduced to access the agreement of the calculated mass and the actual mass. The average bias was –54.408 g and –0.007 g for spatial domain method and frequency domain method, respectively. Theoretical analysis and experiments were performed to verify the effectiveness of our approaches. Show more

Abstract: In server clusters, the static scheduling algorithm has superior performance when the user visits are relatively stable. In the face of sudden increase in user traffic, the dynamic scheduling algorithm has a better load balancing effect than the static scheduling algorithm. However, in the face of complex network environments, the static scheduling algorithm cannot adjust the load according to the performance of the server in real time. The dynamic scheduling algorithm using a single weight to evaluate server performance is unreliable, and load scheduling with reference to the number of connections has uncertainty. In view of this problem, this paper …proposes a cluster load balancing algorithm based on dynamic consistent hash based on the study of load balancing based on LVS clusters. By analyzing the performance and load parameters, we divide the request process into in-cycle and out-of-cycle. By setting up the LVS cluster system, the performance weights, load parameters, number of virtual nodes and cycles of the algorithm in this paper are determined experimentally. Finally, the response time and throughput of the algorithm in this paper are compared with the WRR algorithm and WLC algorithm. The results show that the time and throughput of this algorithm are better than WRR algorithm and WLC algorithm. Show more

Abstract: Traditional Hough circle detection algorithm usually determines the center and radius of a circle by mapping points in cartesian coordinate system to polar coordinate system. Since it accumulates in the three-dimensional space, it requires more calculation consumption. In this paper, we solve the problem of high time complexity of Hough algorithm in judging circle radius and circle center from two aspects of circle angle and circle radius according to the geometric features of quasi-circles. A large number of experiments show that, compared with the traditional algorithm, this algorithm can not only identify quasi-circles, but also improve the detection success rate …of circles by about 10%, with efficient running speed, and obtain good experimental results in the detection of craters.

Abstract: Network security issues have become increasingly prominent, and information security risk assessment is an important part of network security protection. Security risk assessment based on methods such as attack trees, attack graphs, neural networks, and fuzzy logic has problems such as difficulty in data collection during the assessment process, excessive reliance on expert experience, failure to consider the actual network environment, or ineffective joint application. The qualitative and quantitative information security fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method uses the theory of fuzzy mathematics to better solve the above problems, so that the evaluation method is scientific, comprehensive and operable. To improve the …accuracy of information security risk assessment in wireless sensor networks, we propose a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on Bayesian attack graphs. This considers the impact of environmental factors of the assessed system on security risk and the spread of the effects on the Bayesian network. Therefore, this model can reflect possible situations due to network attacks in the wireless sensor network system. The results show that this quantitative evaluation method is applicable to assessing risk in wireless sensor network systems, and the results are more objective and accurate. Show more

Abstract: In the deep learning-based video action recognitio, the function of the neural network is to acquire spatial information, motion information, and the associated information of the above two kinds of information over an uneven time span. This paper puts forward a network extracting video sequence semantic information based on deep integration of local Spatial-Temporal information. The network uses 2D Convolutional Neural Network (2DCNN) and Multi Spatial-Temporal scale 3D Convolutional Neural Network (MST_3DCNN) respectively to extract spatial information and motion information. Spatial information and motion information of the same time quantum receive 3D convolutional integration to generate the temporary Spatial-Temporal information …of a certain moment. Then, the Spatial-Temporal information of multiple single moments enters Temporal Pyramid Net (TPN) to generate the local Spatial-Temporal information of multiple time scales. Finally, bidirectional recurrent neutral network is used to act on the Spatial-Temporal information of all parts so as to acquire the context information spanning the length of the entire video, which endows the network with video context information extraction capability. Through the experiments on the three video action recognitio common experimental data sets UCF101, UCF11, UCFSports, the Spatial-Temporal information deep fusion network proposed in this paper has a high correct recognition rate in the task of video action recognitio.

Abstract: At present, resource configuration of mobile cloud computing has received extensive attention from the outside world. Most of the similar resource scheduling configuration fails to comprehensively consider the dynamics of mobile terminals and the difference in user requested resources. Therefore, considering uncertainty in paging scheduling under mobile cloud resource environment from the perspective of consumers has become the key to solving the problem of resource allocation in the mobile cloud computing environment. This paper proposes an adaptive matching resource allocation algorithm based on uncertain factors under mobile cloud computing environment. Uncertain factors of the mobile terminal are derived via QoS …attribute, and then user information and load characteristics of the user requested resources are analyzed through CLIQUE similarity matching. Afterwards, based on the mapping between similarity and resources, resource paging allocation can be carried out based on adaptive matching resource allocation algorithm. From the perspective of consumers, dynamics of mobile terminals and uncertainty of paging scheduling in the mobile cloud resource environment under different user requested resources can be considered to allow minimized delay and optimized paging strategies.

Abstract: In order to further improve vehicle ride performance, a dynamic monitoring feedback iteration control algorithm is proposed by combining the features of a variable-damping semi-active suspension system and applying them to the system. A seven-degree-of-freedom finished vehicle simulation model is built based on MATLAB/Simulink. The root-mean-square values of the acceleration of the sprung mass, the dynamic travel of the suspension and the dynamic tire load are taken as evaluation indicators of vehicle ride performance. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to determine the weighting coefficients of the evaluation indicators, and a genetic algorithm is utilized to determine the optimal …damping of the suspension under various typical working conditions. Suspension damping is controlled with a dynamic monitoring feedback iteration algorithm. The correction coefficients of the control algorithm are determined according to the deviation between the obtained damping and the optimized damping so that the control parameters will agree with the optimal result under typical working conditions, and the control effect under other working conditions is verified. The simulation results indicate that the proposed dynamic monitoring feedback iteration control algorithm can effectively reduce the root-mean-square value of the acceleration of the sprung mass by 10.56% and the root-mean-square value of the acceleration of the dynamic travel of the suspension by 11.98% under mixed working conditions, thus improving vehicle ride performance. The study in this paper provides a new attempt for damping control of semi-active suspension and lays a theoretical foundation for its application in engineering. Show more

Abstract: Based on a survey database of cross-border acquisitions by Chinese private firms, this study uses a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the holistic impact of acquisition ownership, organizational factors and environmental factors on acquisition performance in cross-border acquisitions. It is found that the cross-border acquisitions taken by Chinese private enterprises have four kinds of acquisition ownership strategies leading to high acquisition performance under different internal and external conditions. This study points out that ownership strategy is a key decision affecting cross-border acquisition performance and provides a variety of paths leading to the same outcome rather than just finding …the linear relationship between corporate activity and performance. This study supports the assumption of equivalence, and reveals a variety of scenarios in which cross-border acquisition ownership contributes to the outcome of high cross-border acquisition performance, and further confirms the view of causal asymmetry between condition and outcome. This study reveals whether the proportion of cross-border acquisition ownership affects cross-border acquisition performance and under what circumstances is conducive to the realization of expected cross-border acquisition performance.

Abstract: The customized products such as electromechanical prototype products are a type of product with research and trial manufacturing characteristics. The BOM structures and processing parameters of the products vary greatly, making it difficult for a single shop to meet such a wide range of processing parameters. For the dynamic and fuzzy manufacturing characteristics of the products, not only the coordinated transport time of multiple shops but also the fact that the product has a designated output shop should be considered. In order to solve such Multi-shop Integrated Scheduling Problem with Fixed Output Constraint (MISP-FOC), a constraint programming model is developed …to minimize the total tardiness, and then a Multi-shop Integrated Scheduling Algorithm (MISA) based on EGA (Enhanced Genetic Algorithm) and B&B (Branch and Bound) is proposed. MISA is a hybrid optimization method and consists of four parts. Firstly, to deal with the dynamic and fuzzy manufacturing characteristics, the dynamic production process is transformed into a series of time-continuous static scheduling problem according to the proposed dynamic rescheduling mechanism. Secondly, the pre-scheduling scheme is generated by the EGA at each event moment. Thirdly, the jobs in the pre-scheduling scheme are divided into three parts, namely, dispatched jobs, jobs to be dispatched, and jobs available for rescheduling, and at last, the B&B method is used to optimize the jobs available for rescheduling by utilizing the period when the dispatched jobs are in execution. Google OR-Tools is used to verify the proposed constraint programming model, and the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and feasible. Show more

Abstract: In 2020, under the major impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, people are paying more and more attention to safety issues including health and personal safety, and relevant supervision and testing methods are also constantly updated across different countries. In industrial enterprises, both spread of diseases and occurrence of accidents are largely caused by unsafe state of things and unsafe behaviors of people, among which, human factor is the most important factor. In recent years, many scholars have conducted theoretical and practical research on individual behavior from the perspective of individual psychological characteristics. Where, individual initiative as an important individual …psychological trait is increasingly incorporated in the research category of safety behavior. A close correlation exists between individual initiative and evolution of safety production behavior. According to constraint conditions and replicator dynamics equation, this paper uses evolutionary game method and computer fuzzy system Matlab simulation software to conduct numerical experiment analysis on the ideal state of the game between organizations and individuals, thereby studying the behavior evolution trend. The basic idea of fuzzy control is to use computer to realize human’s qualitative control experience. Research is found that whether an individual adopts safety obedience behavior will be directly affected by whether the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model. And if the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model and the individual does not implement safety obedience behavior, it is impossible to achieve a stable state. The evolution process of the two to the ideal state is affected by multiple factors. Show more

Abstract: Investigating the factors influencing the performance of social conditioning in the network environment is the core issue for improving academic performance. Through the search of existing literature, the paper analyzes the main factors that influence social conditioning learning in current research, and through the questionnaire survey and in-depth processing of the raw data, the advanced behavioral indicators related to learning are obtained and analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient and fuzzy modeling in machine learning. The results showed that the twelve dimensions of motivation regulation, trust building, efficacy management, cognitive strategy, time management, goal setting, task strategy, peer support, team assessment, …help seeking, environment construction, and team supervision were significantly related to group performance, with team supervision having a significant negative relationship with group performance. In addition, trust building, team supervision and environment construction were the main factors for online social learning, effectiveness management, task strategy, peer support and help-seeking were the secondary factors, while motivation regulation, cognitive strategies, goal setting and team assessment had little impact on the final performance. The findings have some implications for the optimization of social conditioning learning support services and the improvement of social conditioning learning performance. Show more

Abstract: In order to reach a compromise between adhering to the traditional culture and embracing the modern lifestyle, more and more Asian moms are heading towards postpartum care centres for postpartum recovery. However, research regarding the quality of care of these postpartum care centres is nearly missing from the literature. This paper investigated the status quo of the postpartum care centres in Shanghai, China from mothers’ perspectives by means of analysing the 34280 pairs of ratings and reviews posted by postpartum care centre customers on the internet with machine learning and text mining. Results show that the mothers are generally satisfied …with the studied care centres. Meanwhile, the 13 major topics in the customer online reviews were identified, which provide an overview of the interaction between a mother and a care centre. In addition, weight of topic analysis suggests that the studied care centres can further improve in the areas of support team, environment, and facility. Show more

Abstract: Rural revitalization is an attempt by China’s rural reform plan. Among them, the pastoral complex emphasizes the integration of agriculture and tourism, extends the agricultural chain, and integrates health care, technology, tourism, creativity, and leisure. However, the pastoral complex is faced with solving rural-urban integration in the context of the current rural revitalization strategy, involving complex factors such as land, ecological, cultural, and social issues. Therefore, this study analyzes the complex factors affecting the pastoral complex. Fuzzy calculation theory is introduced in the pastoral complex to discuss the pastoral complex system’s operational characteristics and further explore how to build an …adaptive system evaluation system at different system levels. Considering that the process needs to consider several Conflicting factors from qualitative to quantitative, to deal with the uncertainty of human judgment in the evaluation process, the process uses fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to obtain the weight of each factor and understand the degree of influence of each factor. The research results show that various factors have different degrees of influence on the pastoral complex. Therefore, in the complex pastoral process, more attention should be paid to the operation mechanism factors to make the complex pastoral system more scientific. Show more

Abstract: This research focus on the formation mechanism and intervention strategy of coal miners’ job burnout, based on a simulation study using system dynamics method. The simulation result indicates that, work assignment alienation has higher sensitivity to intervention strategies than other elements of coal miners’ job burnout, while health damage is least sensitive to intervention. The top three adoptable strategies shall be reasonable working hours, self-psychological adjustment, and psychological counseling program. As the impact of one intervention strategy weakens with time, it is necessary to constantly change intervention strategies or to adopt a strategy combination to intervene miners’ burnout. This study …explains the formation mechanism of coal miners’ job burnout and offers targeted advice for coal enterprises, aiming to effectively improve their safety management mechanism and to reduce casualties.

Abstract: The cross-trust domain environment in which heterogeneous identity alliances are located often does not have a completely trusted centralized trust root, and different trust domains and entities also have specific security requirements. In view of the above problems, we believe that trust measurement of cross-domain identities based on risk assessment is an effective method to achieve decentralized proof of user identities in heterogeneous cyberspace. There are various risk assessment models. We choose the more mature attack graph theory in the existing research to apply to the new field of cross-trust domain management of heterogeneous identities. We propose an attribute attack …graph evaluation model to evaluate cross-domain identities through risk measurement of attributes. In addition, heterogeneous identity alliances also have architectural risks, especially the risk of decentralized underlying structures. In response to this problem, we identify the risk of the identity alliance infrastructure, and combine the risk assessment and presentation system design to verify the principle. Show more
